Get your blog listed on blog directories

My blog is now on Alltop. You can find it in the Marketing section. You can also find it on social media today and a number of other blog directories. Each time I learn about a new blog directory or resource site, I get my blog listed on it as soon as possible, in order to build up backlinks to the blogs, and also to expose it to a wider audience.

If you post on a regular basis and you think of your blog as a professional platform, it’s worth your time to get it listed on different blog directories. Not only does it build up credibility for your blog and your professional standing, but it can also help you get more readers and followers who find your blog on those sites.

I already mentioned backlinks, which are related links that push a website or blog’s rankings up on google, Bing, and other search engines, but something you can also do is add your blog/business website to local search engine directories as a way of building those backlinks and also making it easier to find your presence on the web.

What’s key is that you get active about getting out your blog out there so that other people can find it and read it. You can’t expect that readers will come to you, if you don’t make your blog available on different sites beside the one its hosted on. And also make sure you post your latest entries to your social networking site. The more consistent you get about it, the easier it will be to attract readers and develop interest in what you are doing.

Google Buzz
  • Share/Bookmark
  • The backlinks from blog directories should be combined with the backlinks from the articles submitted to article directories (on topics closely related to your blog's most important keywords).

    A properly developed backlink program will deliver far more targeted traffic to your blog due to its impact on the search engines than due to the actual directory links themselves.

    I maintain a list of The Top 101 Blog Directories & RSS Submission Sites on my blog at:

    Blog Directories And RSS Feed Directories

    Since I update this list weekly there are now 511 entries listed with NO DEAD LINKS.

    Try to submit to 3-5 directories PER DAY. This discipline will pay big dividends over the long run.

    If you find sufficient value in this list, please link to it in your sidebar.

    Thanks.

    Best of success,
